The Original Vampire

Is the God Dead?

Colin’s eyes widened, and his heart was filled with turmoil.

Of course he knew what these words meant in this extraordinary world, and he finally understood why the Black Emperor had to die.

Even after his death, all records about him were deliberately destroyed, as if someone was desperately trying to completely erase his existence from history!

It turned out that it was because of such a rebellious statement.

If the church allows the Black Emperor’s words to spread widely in the Glorious Empire, you can imagine what a blow it will have to the human belief system.

Therefore, the judge-Duke Saint Xion appeared.

Colin couldn’t help but put his right hand on the Blade of Judgment hanging on his waist, feeling mixed feelings in his heart.

The period of history that confused him at first was finally unveiled.

“So, is the Lord of Glory really dead?” Colin couldn’t help but ask.

Adjani shook her head and said: “I don’t know. No one knows.”

This is indeed true. How can mortals speculate on the life and death of gods?

It’s just that the power of faith is not collected. This does not mean that the Lord of Glory is really dead.

Perhaps, he just doesn’t need the power of faith anymore.

Of course, this speculation seems to be more likely to cause panic…

The Lord of Glory’s protection of mankind is actually obtained by mankind’s service with the power of faith.

If He no longer needs the power of faith, does that mean that He no longer needs humans and no longer protects humans?

In any case, once believers learn the secrets beneath the church, the foundation of the Radiant Church’s existence will be shaken.

“There should be many people who know this secret, right?” Colin asked again.

“Yes. All high-ranking priests above the bishop know this secret. In addition, the core figures of the five major paladin families also know it.” “The

paladin family knows this secret because of the Black Emperor, right?”

“Yes.” Ajia Ni nodded, “Moreover, the reason why he was killed was because he summoned the five Dukes and wanted to make this secret public!”

Colin sighed, and felt that the Black Emperor did not die unjustly.

This kind of behavior not only undermines the foundation of the church, but also damages the fundamental interests of the nobility.

You must know that the Radiant Church and the Imperial Nobles are interdependent. Although they are currently fighting for power and profit, both sides have a tacit understanding to control the intensity of the struggle within a certain range so that they will not really get into trouble. The situation is beyond my control.

After all, if the church really collapses, who will baptize the nobles?

How can a knight be born without being baptized?

Without knights, how could the nobles rule the empire?

Why should we fight against the alien races that are eyeing us from all directions?

Therefore, even if the nobles learn this secret, they will never make it public.

Therefore, even if the royal family has broken with the church, it will never adopt such a lose-lose method.

Except for the Black Emperor who didn’t know what to think…

“So, you are telling me this secret now because I have become the core figure of the Saint Hilde family in your eyes?”

Adjani nodded. confirmed Colin’s judgment: “All the core figures of the five holy knight families know this secret, and I will also inform the Duke of the North.”

But then, she changed the topic and said: “However, I will tell you this secret; there is another reason.”

Colin’s eyes narrowed, knowing that this should be the real purpose of Adjani coming here, and he said: “What reason?”

Adjani’s eyes moved, and her whole body exuded a holy brilliance. But what she said was blasphemous: “I want to make this secret public.”

“What?” Colin thought he heard wrongly and looked at Adjani in surprise.

Adjani’s eyes were firm, and she repeated what she just said.

“Are you crazy?” Colin couldn’t help but exclaim.

Of course, Colin’s shock was not due to his devout faith and reverence for the Lord of Glory, but because he could not understand Adjani’s motives for doing this.

As the Archbishop of the North, the Church of Radiance is Adjani’s foundation. What good will it do to her if she makes this secret public and triggers a crisis of faith?

Not to mention the fatal disaster that would definitely result from doing so.

The last person who wanted to do this, the emperor of the empire, still met a miserable end. Does Adjani think she can be spared?

As long as she dares to do this, she will definitely become the enemy of the entire Glorious Empire, and both the church and the nobility will desperately want to kill her.

“Why are you doing this?” Colin asked in a deep voice.

“Because our Lord’s followers have the right to know the truth.” Adjani said calmly, giving a reason that even Colin didn’t know how to evaluate.

Seeing Colin’s doubtful face, Adjani’s expression remained unchanged and she explained:

“No matter what the reason is why my lord no longer receives the power of faith, neither the church nor the nobles have the right to hide this truth.

However, faith should not Built on deception!

I understand that they are all worried that this truth will cause panic and even a crisis of faith, but if some people’s faith is shaken by this, then they are not worthy of becoming believers in our Lord.

What’s more, isn’t this a test from our Lord?

If this is the case, then our current response must be extremely disappointing to Him. ”

Listening to Adjani’s righteous explanation, Colin didn’t know what to say for a moment.

He didn’t know whether the northern archbishop was really so pious and couldn’t tolerate his faith being blasphemed, or whether he just found a high-sounding one. An excuse to cover up her real ulterior purpose.

Colin narrowed his eyes and his tone became a little cold: “So, Your Excellency the Archbishop, why do you think I will support your idea? As a believer of our lord, a knight in the north, and a viscount of the empire, I should stop you from doing such a stupid thing, right? ”

Because, I believe in the guidance of the Holy Light. ” “Ajani stared into Colin’s eyes and gave an answer that left him speechless.

“Guidance of the Holy Light?

“Yes, your affinity for the Holy Light is something I have never seen before. ” I believe that this is the guidance of our Lord. A pious knight like you will never tolerate the church to continue to deceive the believers of our Lord like this. ”

Colin was silent.

He remembered that Adjani had said such words before in Winter City, and that Pope Gregory also said similar words to Colin when he was in Dragon City.

Could it be that he really was “destined”?

Of course, such illusory things obviously cannot win Colin’s trust.

“Sometimes, white lies are more precious than the cruel truth,” Colin said expressionlessly.

He didn’t want to be an ally of this crazy northern archbishop. What the other party wanted to do, in Colin’s opinion, was almost seek death.

“Good intentions? A sneer appeared on Adjani’s pretty face. “So the manipulation at the Duke’s christening ceremony was also out of goodwill?” ”

Kelin’s eyes shrank, but he was not too surprised.

Adjani said that she had met Vera on the way to Swan City before. With her eyes as an archbishop, she could see what the Pope did to Vera. His hands and feet were not unusual.

Seeing Colin’s expression change, Adjani felt happy and quickly continued to encourage him: “In fact, the top leaders of the church have long been corrupted, and they have long forgotten their original intention and mission.

Although many people tried their best to slander the Black Emperor and tried every means to erase his traces, in fact, they had been affected by his arrogance and vaguely felt that the Lord of Glory was really gone; at least he had cut off contact with this world.

When there were no more scrutinizing eyes above their heads, they began to become unscrupulous.

The originally pure faith has long been corrupted and tainted, and the struggle for power has become their only goal and pursuit.

They say they are doing it for the Lord of Glory, but in fact, they are just doing it for their own interests and status.

Viscount Angelet, do you think such a church is really suitable to continue to dominate the human spiritual world? ”

Colin stared into Adjani’s eyes, and somehow, he suddenly thought of another woman –

Queen Midela.
